From the very young age of 8 years old, he was highly inspired by famous artists, including Chris Brown, and MJ, which influenced him to start producing music and singing. He began to listen to these well-known musicians and practice singing like them, and from then on, his interest in singing and dancing grew.

Deontae started developing a love for R&B music due to his sister playing a lot of soulful music around him; which makes sense on why he ended up picking R&B genre as his expertise.
